Getting Started

Pick one recipe that matches your family's preferences and try it for a week. Most children need 8-12 exposures to new foods, so consistency is key.

Pro tip: Start with the Power Smoothie if you have picky eaters - it tastes like a milkshake but provides the nutrition they need. For time-pressed mornings, try the Mini Egg Muffins made on Sunday.

Nutrition Assumptions

Calculations use USDA average values and standard portions: 1 medium banana (118g), ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (125g), 2 tbsp natural peanut butter (32g ~190 kcal, ~7g protein), ¼ cup dry oats (20g), ¾ cup 1% milk (180ml), and whole grain bread slices totaling 60–80g (≈70–100 kcal per slice). Actual values vary by brand and milk fat %.
